Syracuse's onetime mascot "The Saltine Warrior" (unsurprisingly, the local Native Americans suggested that this be changed, so now it's an orange).
Studying with George Washington in Maxwell Hall.
Walking past Abraham Lincoln outside Maxwell Hall.
A peek inside the Carrier Dome (we heard a LOT about tonight's game).
Lockerbie Memorial (35 Syracuse students died on the flight).
Fraternity house in urgent need of repair.
Hall of Languages (a.k.a. the Addams Family House).
We ate lunch at the local Chipotle between the general campus and Newhouse tours and left campus in the late afternoon to drive to Rochester. We went into the city to see Genesee Falls, right in the middle of the city with fantastic views from the Pont du Rennes footbridge, and the wonderful ruins in the Brown's Race district, including what's left of Triphammer Forge and Phoenix Mill, plus the High Falls Heritage Area Visitor Center in the Brown's Race Market building. Then we came to the Microtel just outside the city, which is not as nice as the Cresthill Suites but has a microwave where we had leftover cassoulet for dinner, watched Beauty and the Beast which had great stuff happen this week, and now we are watching the Syracuse-Indiana game which I am kind of hoping Indiana wins because the entire world may apply to Syracuse if they become the NCAA champions this year!
